"when you see the folks on the right and the folks on the left (huffpo gang) agreeing on something, it is not good news for the subject of that agreement."

Same could be said for the Fed (Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders). Then again, they are pretty much the same as Goldman.

I would prefer no Fed, actually.

As for run away inflation, we basically had run away house price hyperinflation from 2003 - 2006, thanks to the Fed.

Hmm, Anil, not surprised to find a CFR link to this guy (and many others on the list).

too bad, it's called Ch 11, this is why it exists.

at least companies that make shit can just reorganize, existing debtors take a hit, and we move on, the way things are supposed to happen.

Talk about a campaign that is backfiring. Allen Stanford? LOL!! Where is Madoff?

They couldn't come up with any better than an ex-Enron lobbyist to help them out?

When is she coming back on this board, BTW, I miss her inane arguments. Where is ye, Judge?

I disagree, don't ban her. Anyone reading this blog will see how desperate the Fed is to spread its lies to protect its franchise.

The more informed people are about the Fed, the better. The responses to her lies help educate those who are being raped by the Fed and its cronies.

Not to mention all his meddling will probably cost BB his job as the mobs are starting to descend. I can hear Larry now: "Barry, I never would have drawn this much attention to the Fed, give me the job, I can fix it."

the sooner BB gets the folks off the Fed's back, the better for him.

No bailout?

I will believe it when I see it (or don't see it).

"It's simply allowing the money supply to grow to maintain the cost of capital so business' can expand as they have need. "

If only.

I suppose Maiden Lanes I, II, and III were about "simply allowing the money supply to grow".

I suppose buying $1.25T of agency MBS is "simply allowing the money supply to grow".

As for the cost of capital, in a free market, it will flow to those most deserving, not building high rise condos in Florida that now sit empty and will never be occupied. That is a consequence of a planned economy.

By your thought process, we never should have gotten out of the caves, since the cavemen didn't have a Federal Reserve, you know.

How did they ever do it? How was fire discovered without a Federal Reserve?

And that "wheel thing". Damn, a miracle.

Though it is interesting to see the Info Wars brought to the shores of Zero Hedge.

I think some people underestimate the education of people on these blogs.

Judge, the dummies are over on the Yahoo boards, you might have more luck there.

I would like to see the Fed abolished. That isn't really covered either.

We have had a credit bubble for the past 25 years. Check the growth of credit vs GDP. THAT is a fact.

The Fed has enabled it.

The Fed needs to be abolished. The Founding Fathers were very wary of central banks and fiat currencies.

But then again, you NWO types don't care too much about the Founding Fathers anyway.

I noted that several are faculty members of my alma mater.

i have already written my alma mater informing them I will not be contributing any more money because of this BS. Let the Fed print them some dollars if they need them.

"Economists would argue that people often delay purchases in times of deflation in anticipation of lower prices,"

You really believe this? If we have, say, 3% deflation, a teenage girl will put off buying a $100 pair of jeans so she can buy them a year later for $97? You will stop buying a pack of gum for $1 so you can buy it for 97 cents in a year?

Look at big ticket items - You will put off buying a new car for $30K if you think it will be 29.1K in a year? Even if the repairs on your old car will far exceed those cost savings?

Back to the laptop example - people know damn well those will drop in price, but yet they still buy them. Any technology-rich device falls in price these days, but yet the iPhone sells like crazy (and that will probably drop in price by 10 - 50% in a year, not 3%).

That whole argument is pure bullshit.

Amen, nice to see someone who gets it.

Inflation = good for debtors, bad for savers.
Deflation = bad for debtors, good for savers.

Unfortunately we have more debtors than savers, and our ponzi economy depends on more and more of them.
